The Grimond Lecture
Prof. Iain MacLeod of Strathclyde University describes how James Watt, who died 200 years ago, used the values of the Enlightenment to harness energy, leading to dramatic changes worldwide. Can those same Enlightenment values, he asks, help us tackle major energy risks and provide a way ahead to a new and beneficial era of energy use?
